- During my 3 weeks in Chicago, I tried 3 different hotels. Why? Because none showed hockey…ANY hockey. Hello, it’s Chicago, I thought that ban was lifted when the old dude died?
- During my 2 weeks in Philly, no hockey. Hellllllllo Philly, what’s your excuse?
- I spent one week between Austin and San Antonio with yet again, no hockey. Oh, wait, that actually makes sense.
- Atlanta hotels do show the Thrashers. (Chicago and Philly take note because your cities actually claim to like hockey)
- My DirectTV thinks I’m in NYC. I don’t get the Sabres pre or post game shows and the feeds are on obscure MSG++3 channels. When the regular game is on MSG or MSG+ it’s blacked out. Dear Direct TV, 5 hours from NYC, 2 from B’lo. Do the math and give me what I want. Thx!
- The headline “Kotalik lifts the Rangers…” Really? Kotalik?
- Pommers is A) married and B) a dad. Whoa, when the hell did this all happen. I guess 7 dog years really does equal 1 human. (Although I still think he looks 12.)
I will try and write more often, because I actually like this whole blogging thing. Life has just been insane and travel has sent me to cities that apparently lie about how much they like hockey. Up next Boise. (Watch, they’ll have Versus.)
